Acclaim's racer slips again. New launch dates announced.

By IGN

Several weeks ago IGN reported that Acclaim's XGRA, the latest sequel to its longstanding futuristic racing franchise, had suffered from a minor release date slip. It placed the PS2 and Xbox versions for a mid-August release and left the GameCube version on hold until mid-September.

Today, Acclaim announced that the official dates for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions have been pushed forward closer to the GCN launch date. All three versions will now release in the month of September, according to Acclaim. The new release schedule is as follows:

XGRA PlayStation 2: September 5

XGRA Xbox: September 12

XGRA GameCube: September 16

When asked for reasons for the delay, Acclaim insisted it was to ensure intended quality. A spokesperson noted, "We're continuing to finish up and polish the game, as we want XGRA to be the best ever in the series."
